  • Supplier  Catalog upload  w/o Prodcut ID in SRM MDM CATLOG

    Hi experts,
    The supplier catalog loaded by supplier, will not have Product ID. I believe , even though we don't have product id, we can create a SC in SRM.
    Will there be any isuue  , if v r not geting the prodcut id in catalog upload file by supplier.?
    I think this SC will be a created as free text in sap SRM. Is supplier part number equivalent to Prodcut id?
    Plz help.
    Thanks,
    SK

  • ECC TO SRM-MDM CATALOG THROUGH SAP PI

    We have a scenario where we are sending data from ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog through SAP PI and data is coming from ECC through proxy and sending to SRM u2013MDM catlog through file adapter. In ESR part we have used SAP defined standard service interfaces (CatalogueUpdateNotification as sender interface and MDMInfoRecordDataTransmission as a receiver interface). The mapping used is also standard one.
    Now we have got requirement to send the data for vendor mat no, manufacturer field of info records from ECC to SRM-MDM catlog.  But we are unable to find out these two fields in standard interfaces/messages. Can anybody guide us how to add these fields in the current data types or is there any other standard interfaces we can use.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Shiv,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    Since we're not using XI / PI scenario and this is an upgrade from SRM 5.5 to SRM 7, Iu2019m using the same approach that was already used in SRM 5.5 with CCM 2.0.
    The idea is that the catalogue and all the records maintained need to be associated to a contract. So, I add the contract ID and the correspondent contract item in the import file, in addition to the supplier name, product ID, price information and so on. I mapped the contract ID with the field contract price.
    In relation to the price information fields, as I want it to be visible for any user that accesses the product catalogue, I tried different approaches:
    1.Using OCI Price information u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
    2.Using OCI Price contract u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
    The first approach didnu2019t work very well, as I was not able to see price information when accessing the catalogue. I could only see it once I transfer the items to the SC. In addition, this approach had one problem. The products were displayed but it was not possible to select the items one by one. To do that I needed to select all the items of the catalogue and after that the detail of the contract ID was displayed in every item, allowing me to choose the items that I want to select to my SC.
    The second approach was better as the information was visible when accessing the SC and I was able to select all the items, one by one, as it should be. The main problem of this approach was that Iu2019m getting errors in the SC when the materials have stock u2013 u201CInterface data contains errorsu201D. Or alternatively, if the items didnu2019t have stock, the SC was possible, but when I tried to create a PO from that SC, It simply does not work.
    So, can someone help me? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,

  • SRM MDM CATALOG

    Hello
    I am implementing SRM 5.0 with SRM MDM catalog and I have some doubts.
    How can I create catalogs and publish it for users in SRM?
    The catalogs are created in SRM accessing MDM catlog or only in MDM. ?
    Thanks
    Nilson

    .How can access this webdympro?
    >Thanks
    Man, you really should read my post... you don't "publish" catalogs with MDM.  You setup a "repository" and load it.  You do this with CONSOLE.  With the DATAMANAGER or IMPORTMANAGER you can maintain repository data.  The MDM SERVER 5.5 is accessed through a url that you define in your catalog call structure.  If you have any more questions, I will help you out.

  • SRM-MDM Catalog - XI Scenario

    Hi,
    I am working on SRM-MDM Catlog 1.0 integration with XI.
    I have to configure scenarios in XI for:
    1) Upload of Supplier catalog via Server File System to SAP MDM catalog. for example in XML Format.
    2) Replication of Product and COntract data.
    We have to use SRM_MDM_CATALOG scenario contained within XI Content uploaded for SRM_MDM.
    =>I already have uploaded the XI Integration Content in Integration repository (SRM_MDM_CATALOG).
    =>I already have SRM-MDM 1.0 catalog Configuration guide, But it doesnot detail much about scenario(components involved in Integration Repository and Integration Directory)
    Do anyone have some document which details about scenario or any help material regarding the same/or if some expert can Guide/Brief me on the scenario.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • SRM MDM Catalog - Taxonomy table

    Hi all,
    Could any one please let me know, that do we realy  require to create Taxonomy table in SRM MDM-Catlog scenario?
    Please assist.
    Thank You.
    SKP

    Hi SKP,
    NO. not required .
    Taxonomy mode is available if the repository contains taxonomy tables.
    Taxonomy mode is unavailable if the repository contains no taxonomy tables.
    all depends on your data model .i.e  upon your repository . as you aware repository can contain one main table and sub tables.
    for eg. sub table - Taxonomy - product group ( tree structure like hierarchy of categories and  subcategories...
    Hierarchy table - product  hierarchy

  • SRM's WDJ application is not taking custom theme

    Hi All,
    I'm working on the Portal branding. We have SRM BP deployed in our portal. I've created custom theme and desktop for the user.
    I'm able to see the portal's different section as per custom theme. WDA/WDJ application's UI which is opening in the content area of portal is also showing as per theme.
    When I'm trying to access the SRM BP portal content which is the collection WDA/WDJ application, inside portal content area showing as per theme. But one WDJ Iview related to MDM catlog data is opening in new window, in that WDJ UI is not taking custom theme color. UI is showing default theme "tradeshow".
    I tried few SAP note(Note 1446099 - Web Dynpro application not displayed in customer theme) to synch the patch of portal and WDJ stylsheet but no luck.
    Pl share your input to solve the issue.

  • Prodcut/ Contract Replication in SRM MDM Catolog

    Hi All,
    Could some one  let me know, what is the significane of replicating the prodcut data / contract /info records from SRM to SRM MDM.
    - Is it of any use for Catlog with contract price?
    - if we are replicating the prodcut, then we do not need to map the Prodcut Group in all the three MDM/SRM/ ERP systems?
    Thanks,
    SKP

    Hi SK,
    to upload the contract make sense, that the cataloguser is able to choose a better price as for a normal item, directly in catalog.
    The Product Group should be the same as in SRM and ERP. You should create these in ERP then upload into SRM and then to SRM-MDM catalog.

  • MDM Scenarios involving XI

    Can any one list the MDM Scenarios involving XI?
    -Naveen.

    Hi,
    There are already some good links are given by Bhavesh and Satish.
    To my knowledge where ever you need to do some Harmonization, Data Deduplication, catlog management you will go for MDM. MDM generally reads reads XML files(may be CSV & some formats but definetly not RFC or IDOCS) and gives out XML files. Lets take up some ORGN for example say DHL. DHL is spread across the globe and obviously they would be using diverse systems. But DHL would like to maintain a centeralised HR data say all Employee details. That is a single a single point where I am maintaining my master data, as we say master data we know there should be duplicates and it should be harmonized. SAP's solution for that is MDM which would help in Harmonize and remove duplicates. But the question is how MDM would collect data from all these diverse systems spread acroos the globe and at the same time how do MDM post those data into some centeralized HR system say SAP HR. So XI comes into picture to collect all different format of data and they might also use XI to convert those data into a uniform XML structure and it is loaded into MDM. MDM does its job and obviously it cannot post a IDOC into SAP HR. So it gives out a file and XI again picks up and post the IDOC into SAP HR. Simillarly think of all the master data like Product/Material master etc...
    So in most of the cases MDM & XI joins together to give a solution.

  • Error while opening MDM Data Manager

    Hi,
    We are getting the following error while trying to open Data manager on our repository.
    "Error Initializing Attributes for table Taxonomy
    Application will exit
    Already exists"
    mds Version 5.5.42.90
    MDM DataManager Ver5.5.42.90
    The repository loads without any errors. The server log file too doesnt show any errors.
    Is there anyway to fix this?

    Go to your MDM console, Login to repository and Unload repository first.
    Then load with Update Indices.
    This problem comes when you change anything in schema in console and then load repository with immediate option.
    So always prefer to use update indices as accelator files will get updated and data comes from actual database.
    If the problem still persists then Go again to console and check your repository for any fatal error. if errors come then repair repository and if not come then also repair.
    Then load with update indices.
    Hope it will help you.

  • What are the corresponding Data Types of some MDM Data Types

    Hi Guys,
    The MDM ABAP API involves creation of a DDIC structure in SRM. This structure should have the same fields with the MDM table fields. We would like to ask the corresponding ABAP Data Types for the following MDM Data Types.
         MDM                                                         SRM
    1.  Look up (flat)
    2.  Look up (taxonomy)
    3.  Look up (heirarchy)
    4.  Look up (qualified flat look up)
    Any significant inputs on this?
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi,
    Refer the below link. This is from the MDM Reference guide and contains the sample source code as well for almost all the things like creating repository, creating tables and fields etc. It would be helpful to you.

  • Error in starting MDM Server from MDM Console

    Hi,
    I have installed SAP MDM 5.5 SP05 on Windows 2003 Server.
    When i try to start the MDM Server (i.e. MDM Service) from the MDM console it gives me the following error:
    <i>Error Starting apmdmd(MDM Server): The machine 'apmdmd' is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead. </i>
    But if i start the MDM Service manually and then mount the server, it works fine.
    Kindly help.
    Regards,
    Chintan Sheth

    It sounds to me like a problem potentially with either the permissions of the Windows user or perhaps a software firewall. The Console uses a low-level Windows API function to determine if the target machine on which MDS is installed is Windows-based. This function may be blocked by some OS or firewall-level setting. This may be the case even if you are able to use the same client machine to connect to the target machine via the Service Control Manager and start MDS from there.
    I would like to help with this problem, but I need to know a few more things:
    When the problem occurs, is the Console running on the same Windows machine as MDS?
    You mentioned Windows 2003 Server... when you run the Console on this machine, are you logged in as an Administrator of the machine? And do you still get the error when you attempt to start MDS from within the Console?
    Once MDS is started, and you mount it within the Console, are you having any other problems, such as logging in to a repository, or viewing logs?
    Is there a firewall installed on the machine or machines that the software is installed on? We may have to review the settings of the firewall, or try temporarily disabling it (on both ends, or at least on the machine running MDS), to see if the problem goes away -- then we'll know the problem is with the firewall settings.
    CLIX is a fine workaround if you can use it, but clearly this problem needs to be rectified.
